[Q] Chrome to Phone - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps

Has anyone managed to get Chrome to Phone to work? Yes, I know the 101 isn't a phone, but I assumed it worked via the active internet connection? Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling etc, and its all set up exactly as on my Desire, again where it works fine.

Unfortunately it's not working for me either. Wish we can find a fix because this little archos is a sweet internet device...
EDIT:
Ok got it to work. When i set up my Archos I had used the same gmail that I used on my Android phone. I guess this causes confusion in chrome to phone? Anyway
Settings>applications>Chrome to phone>delete data
Sign in with a different gmail account and it's working. I know this is not optimal to use a different account but it's a workaround till we find a real fix.

I try, but it has a lug 3-5 minutes before getting links

Dropbox issue

Hi People,
I'm using an omnia 7 right now, it appears that after trying 3 separate apps to connect to the dropbox, I keep encountering the Login Failed - Please check your username/password error.
I am able to login on 2 other laptop, 1 desktop and my milestone so my login credential is definitely correct, can someone advise?
I use boxfiles and do not have this problem. Maybe you really are just typing your password in wrong on your phone keyboard.
doesnt seems like the case, i did look at every key i typed, well I tried over 50 times, hardly possible to miss a key in all those tries?
Anyone know of any free dropbox apps in development?
have you tried it over wifi? if it works over wifi but not over you data connection, perhaps your carrier is blocking it?
I tried both wifi and 3g.
edit: I just did some research on the net that apparently iphone/ipod touch had this issue before due to the time settings, but that has been checked and it's still not working.

[Q] Unable to download from Market using 3G?

Hi all,
Having an issue downloading anything from the android market on 3G. 3G works for everything else besides downloading from the market (browsing, email, sync, etc).
When I switch to wifi, I can download from the market perfectly fine.
I've tried a friends SIM with a different carrier, and it DOES work over 3G.
Logcat of the issue happening From what I can tell the error starts around line 50, but I included the full log in case it helps.
I'm not much of a developer so I'm just trying to determine why exactly it's happening, as Android simply spits out a pop-up with the useless message:
[App name here] could not be downloaded due to an error.
I have a friend on the same carrier with a Nexus S and she can download apps from the market fine. Haven't been able to test her SIM in my phone yet though.
I've found some others with a similar issue (although not restricted to only happening over 3G): http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=5a31588b6f655e89&hl=en
None of the solutions there helped though. I've cleared market data, wiped, factory reset, tried different roms, etc.
I'd really appreciate any help.
i'm having the same problem - using a galaxy nexus on tmobile. haven't had the change to try on wifi yet.

Glad I'm not the only one...
By searching pastebin, I've found a few others that pasted their logcats with the same issue, but I can't find wherever they posted it to see if a solution ever happened.
One solution I found was to delete / rename the .android_secure folder on the "SD" card, but I see that folder on my phone. I know dotfiles are hidden by default but I'm showing hidden files and I don't even see .android_secure from adb shell.
I'm on Mobilicity in Canada, which also uses AWS bands, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I don't like bumping, but I still have this issue and was hoping someone could help out.
Sucks only being able to download apps over wifi.
I saw Josh Topolsky from The Verge has been complaining about this issue on twitter the last couple days.
www.twitter.com/joshuatopolsky
I've tried everything to fix it, tried different roms, kernels, wiping, factory reset, different SIM cards, nothing will fix it.
The 403 error indicates that it's Google's servers that are forbidding the connection...but I see no reason why they would, and it's not like I can change the IP address of what my phone is being assigned by the 3G towers.
Everthing was fine on stock untill i flashed revolution hd 1.3.1... I had the same problem with market but for some reason i enabled wifi and started downloading stuff from the market...then i turned it off and magic it worked thru att 3g...
I hope this temp solution might help you guys out or maybe it just worked for me
Ditto
I'm facing the same issue with a Galaxy Nexus (bought from Virgin) on Mobilicity in Toronto: market works on wifi, but not on 3g.
I'm having this problem too. With Orange in Spain.
But is not a constant problem. Sometimes works fine, and another ones not. When the error comes out I try again several times untill it works. If doesn't I whait to have Wifi.
But as I said it isn't always. But some type of bug is.
I got the Galaxy Nexus yesterday from Virgin Mobile and using it with my Telus SIM and Android Market downloads dont work using the mobile network but switch to wifi I can download from Market. I've tried everything you mentioned as well and still no luck.
I have noticed some delays in downloading but I am pretty sure it is becasue of the "little" 10 Billion Apps promotion thats causing the issues.. the market must be seeing a lot more traffic than it can cope with.. servers must be over loaded!
Try market at off peak times (worked for me)!
This theory syncs quite well with the 10 Billion Apps promotion.. just a thought!

Unfortunately that isn't the reason. It's definitely something more serious / buggy than simply too much traffic. It's been going on for almost 2 weeks now, well before that promotion even started.
Anyone feel like pulling a logcat and seeing if it matches up with mine? I'd suspect it does (403 Forbidden errors).
It basically boils down to Google's servers rejecting the connection for one reason or another. 403 error = The server is connectable, but knowingly refused the connection. It's something on Google's end, but I don't understand why certain devices are being rejected while others aren't.
Went to apn settings and removed the proxy and now i can download from market over celluar
Just wanted to confirm your fix worked for me jayclapp!
Updating the OP with the fix, in case anyone stumbles across the same issue.
Bumping up the thread but i believe it's for a good reason.
I had the same problem with I9100 after upgrading to ICS from GB. Talked to Google play support, their solutions weren't helpful (erasing cache and stuff) and they said it's a carrier problem. I used another SIM from the same carrier and it still wasn't working....
So.... Stumbled on this thread, erased the proxy and now it's working!!!
So, i'm bumping this thread so it will perhaps show up in google in a higher search position and to say thanks to the OP (besides the thanks button)

[Q] Play Store and You Tube not working properly

Hello,
This is my first post. I am sorry, if I break any rules or norm of xda-developers. Sorry, if that happens, but I don't intend to disrespect or hurt anyone. I have high respect for the developers and I have been learning a lot about Android because of you guys. Thanks for that.
Lately I have been experiencing an issue on my Note 2. Sorry, but I can't really pin point what I did that it's going all crazy. I searched online using our friend, google, and saw that many others have this issue. My apps are not getting updated, for that matter, none of the devices (Nexus 7, and a Samsung Galaxy S Duos) at my home are able to do that. So, I am assuming its a Router issue. I tried changing DNS address and firewall settings. None of them worked. I am mostly on Wifi, but these issues don't surface when I use cellular data. Maybe, its the router itself.
Other than that, YouTube isn't loading specific videos and keeps logging me out. Some "specific" (they are not 18+) videos won't load no matter what I do to load them. Other videos work fine. However, I didn't try to load them on cellular data so far.
Contacts are not syncing. I tried whatever suggestions people offered. It works for few minutes, and then fail. AGAIN and AGAIN. To keep it simple, I turned off syncing from every other app, Skype, Samsung etc except for google. Turned off sync completely. Made a .vcf file as backup. Deleted all my contacts related data, from Phone and GMail. Yes, it did hurt. Mailed myself vcf file. Imported all my contacts to Gmail. Turned on sync with google on my phone. And, it worked fine, for few minutes. Back to square one after that. I am not sure if problem lies with one of the contacts as this was the best I could think of to solve my sync issues.
One of the correlations I was able to establish was to make Play Store and YouTube work, I had to first get my sync problem out of the way. For the moments for which it was working, everything else was working.
So far I have not tried factory reset. I have my reservations regarding it. I have experience in ROOTING, flashing, overclocking etc. Did that for my desire, and my friends desire C. But I am satisfied with how my phone was working, and so far am not looking to Root it. But if you think that factory reset or rooting could solve my problem, please enlighten me.
Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it.
You can try factory resetting one of them and use a different Google account. Perhaps nothing should be same as the other two devices. If yes then it could be an issue with the account or some apps. If no it could be an Internet or router problem. Try data or something.
Next try factory reset other device but this time give it details as the device you reset earlier. See how they go. If it goes fine thanks factory reset them back and this time your original account. See if it works or not. This will jot down what the problem is.
If it works then something was wrong with your devices. If not then something is wrong with your account.

Thanks for replying (I also clicked the button as I figured people appreciate that more) and thanks to all other 60+ people for looking into my issue.
I can what you suggested by factory resetting, but I am keeping that as my last option for now, for two reasons. First, one of the devices, belongs to a friend of mine, who already use a different account than mine. Also, in nexus 7, I have a separate account for him. I am thinking of resetting/changing my router, internet works fine though and I paid a hell lot of money for it. Second, I don't want to loose all data. If I was to do this, I will probably root my phone along with it too, save some time. As the problem started for all the devices at the same time, I strongly sense its a wifi issue. Also, when I change some of the settings in router, things start working fine for half and hour or so.

Galaxy s3 not connecting to google/some apps when connected on WiFi

Hey guys, I've been searching for problems first before posting but I've yet to find a thread that actually fixes this specific problem. It's a little different than the other threads I've seen. Basically my phone can connect to my interwebs and I can browse webpages on dolphin browser but I can't connect to the play store. I've tried going to the play store on my desktop and trying to download apps to my phone that way but they never start downloading on my phone. I've tried resetting my router, multiple times yet it only worked once and hasn't worked any other trys after that. I've also tried dialing multiple " *# " numbers, some don't even connect and *#0011#* gave me an error about my connectiong and an invalid MMI. My router is secured through a WPA-key. Another thing that just recently started up was that snapchat would give me an error when I open it saying it has stopped working. Unrelated perhaps but maybe not.
I've been able to connect to other routers at other houses and my school, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I've noticed that when the wifi signal icon turns blue then everything will work. When it's grey, it's a complete toss up on whether it'll work or not.

If you did a factory reset when you upgraded to 10.2, then there isn't much you can do. If you have not done that, do it.

No, I haven't factory reseted it. I'm trying to avoid any factory resets to lose my information but right about now I'd try anything. Do you have an up to date guide on flashing ROMs and keeping my contacts?

Contacts are synced to your Google account. But you can export them from the contacts app just to be safe.
You can back up user app data with one of the billion back up apps on the market. Only user apps though, never system apps.
This way, you will only need to redo the system settings. Factory reset will make you lose 20-30 minutes if you're slow.

Your connection is not private

My GS6 grew into this error about 6 months ago so I stopped using the phone. It is showing up in all apps, on WiFi and cell service, not just chrome from the screenshots. Ie a lot of apps have problems because they always thing that I have an unsecured connection. If I refresh, I can usually get in to work, but it takes time on each website I visit. I am confident it's the phone, but have no idea beyond that.
Since the error has started, I have hard reset, re-rooted and re-flashed and gone back to stock again. Nothing seems to fix it. I've even followed a few websites which seem to try and fix this.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea for a fix? I'm willing to re-root and flash, but that might have been what got me into this mess in the first place. I am really out of ideas and am about to sell for parts because it's been so frustrating to deal with.
Thanks in advance!
There are several possible solutions, all listed here: https://www.thesslstore.com/blog/fix-ssl-connection-errors-android-phones/
The easiest is to check that the date/time is correct on your phone. If that is out of sync, it can cause these problems.
One other possible cause is to check the accounts on your phone. Maybe an old work account of something that is no longer active? Even if you only have one account on your phone, delete it and then add it back.
